Video-Based AI Inference

Continuous process understanding from live camera streams.

The industrial problem

Many production events cannot be captured by a single photo per cycle: manual assembly steps, material flow, safety zone violations, intermittent process deviations. Traditional machine vision looks at one image; understanding a process requires watching it continuously.

How it works

We process live camera streams locally and run AI inference continuously or on production events. The system detects and records what happens – actions, objects, movements, deviations – and generates results, alarms, metadata, and dashboard entries in real time.

Unlike one-image-per-cycle machine vision, video inference provides continuous process understanding. And because processing runs at the edge, industrial video is analyzed without continuously uploading it to the cloud.

Typical data sources

  • Fixed industrial cameras over production areas
  • Line-mounted cameras at critical stations
  • Existing CCTV streams where image quality allows
  • Multi-camera setups processed on one edge device

Business value

  • Objective, continuous view of the real process
  • Immediate alerts on deviations and safety events
  • Recorded evidence for quality and process analysis
  • No cloud dependency for sensitive factory video

Deployment architecture

  1. 1Cameras stream to a local edge AI device
  2. 2AI models analyze video continuously in real time
  3. 3Events, alarms, and metadata are stored and forwarded
  4. 4Dashboards and alerts reach operators and engineers

Integration

  • RTSP and GigE camera streams
  • Results to PLCs, MES, databases, and dashboards
  • Event-based video recording and metadata storage
  • Runs on NVIDIA Jetson and industrial edge PCs

Example use cases

  • Process monitoring and production event detection
  • Operator action and assembly sequence verification
  • Safety zone monitoring with real-time alerts
  • Object and material flow tracking
  • Packaging monitoring and presence/absence checks
  • Automatic event recording for remote supervision
